Looks good. I'm actually considering replacing our own initrd with this one when we upgrade our netboots to 2.6.29. Though I see a small problem: Ever thought about what happens if there are multiple interfaces on different networks? Only one is valid to mount the root-fs... Currently I've solved that by upping each interface and then ping-testing the nfs-server... Any better ideas?
